One of the best couloir i ever rode in the Dolomites.
From the top Faloria chairlift we did a long traverse to reach the foot of the last 200 m long couloir that leads to a little snowy saddle.
From there with another 100 m traverse we reached the entry of this beatiful couloir.
Snow was awesome !!
In the middle part of the couloir just before the 2 m mandatory rocky step jump, a massive sluff dropped from the slopes above directly on our heads like a massive waterfall, luckily without any bad consequences.
Exiting the river and reaching the road has been another little mission.
